Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Champion the Cause
Now you're starting to show potential! I'm guessing your name was well known on whatever mortal world you hail from. But don't rest on your laurels. The harder you fight, the harder others will strive to strike you down. That's the Maldraxxi way!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Arms for the Poor
This trench is strewn with the remnants of countless attacks upon the Seat of the Primus by forces which threatened the Shadowlands. Each time, Maldraxxus claimed victory. Now scavengers pick at scraps in hopes of buying their way into one of the three remaining houses.
